Why Regular Preventative HVAC Maintenance is Important for Your System

When it comes to maintenance a good maintenance schedule is twice a year. Once in the fall to check everything with the heating side and then once in the spring to check everything on the air conditioning side. For a relatively small investment you can save money, breathe healthy and clean air.

Reasons Why HVAC Maintenance is so Important For Homeowners

For most of you out there it will be to save money. Your HVAC system is a well-engineered and complex system that in most homes utilizes around 50% of the consumed energy. If one stays on top of their maintenance they will ensure that their system is operating at its max performance.

Money Saving Examples of Proper HVAC Maintenance

Just about every residential heating and air conditioning system out there has a start and run capacitors in them. This is a very common part that fails on systems and in most cases the system will still run and keep you comfortable. In reality the system may be struggling to start up or not running at proper rated amp draws. This can cause the system to use more power and overheat the motors of the system.

Two other very common problems we want to stay on top of are refrigerant levels and clean indoor/outdoor coils. There again your system may seem to be working and keeping you comfortable but at a much higher cost on your utility bills. Eventually these examples will result in costly breakdowns.

It is said that regular HVAC maintenance will reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%. Also by keeping the system running at peak efficiency you can save up to 30% on your energy bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Extending The Life of Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance is very important to the life of your system. As mentioned before this well-engineered equipment is made up of many different parts that all have to work together.

System Longevity Example

If your system is operating with a low output run capacitor or low on refrigerant. This could cause a number of problems, one of them being compressor failure.

Keeping Your Family and Home Safe With Maintenance Service

We have all heard the serious health issues that carbon monoxide can cause. Gas Furnaces these days are designed with a lot of safety components in them. Its important for all of them to function properly. Preventive maintenance will check each and everyone of these components to ensure the safe operation of the furnace.

I’m sure you know someone or you have heard of someone coming home from work or back from vacation to a hot or cold home along with water damage due to the heater not working and the water lines frozen and busted. Or water damage due to the evaporator coil being frozen over. Maybe it was just the drain line stopped up. This lack of maintenance can cause you the homeowner thousands of dollars.

Improve your Comfort

We all depend on our heating and air system to keep us comfortable year round. There’s more to a system than blowing hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer. Your HVAC system also includes your duct work and ventilation. Do you have a room that stays too cold in the winter or one that stays too hot in the summer? Maybe it’s one whole side of your house. It could be that maybe during the summer time your house feels sticky and wet due to high humidity. These issues could be caused by improper maintenance. Regular maintenance will also minimize the chance of your HVAC system disturbing your quality of life with noises or unpleasant smells.

Improve The Air Quality In Your Home

The EPA reports that the indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (In extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. Along with routine maintenance, keeping your filter clean will decrease the airborne pollutants. There are some other practices that your HVAC technician can help you with when it comes to controlling respiratory issues like pet dander, dust mites, pollen and mold. Such as better filtration systems, ERV systems and UV lights.

Tom Marvin

Jonathan and his crew are always quick to respond and on time. They always help me to understand what is going on with our AC and heating units. I get a concise explanation of what needs to be done. I have always gotten an honest answer about my current units and I have never gotten any pressure to replace the equipment that did not need replacing. It feels great to be able to trust the information you get from the people looking after your HVAC equipment, and that is what we get from Paradise. T. Marvin

Gayle Wroclawski

We've been doing a complete renovation of our family home of 30 years to sell and retire. We also needed to make sure we had adequate insulation and have the ductwork inspected. I called Paradise Heating and Air, and found that this was a service they could provide. They were very responsive. I had an estimate within a few days and the job completed the following week. They fixed anything that could become a problem and blew in the amount of insulation to meet the current Hoover building code. Jonathan was so friendly, explained everything that was done and the cost was very reasonable. In fact he talked me out of insulating an area that wasn't really needed!!! I couldn't be happier with the service, and feel good that everything is secure and to code. I highly recommend Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air!!

I had paradise come out to get me started with their paradise maintenance package, and had them take a look at my attic because we had concerns with our insulation not being adequate. They didn’t try to over sell work I didn’t need, and were honest with what exactly was needed to get us back on track. Techs Jonathan and Matthew came out for the initial inspection and service and came back to do the attic insulation. They were patient and knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions) and took their time. They found all the places that my system was leaking (out and in) air, fixed them, and then filled the attic. They kept the house clean and were respectful and had great attitudes the entire time. They have definitely earned my business, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work. They are AWESOME!

Ken Little

Awesome Work! Great Experience with Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Cooling Great experience from Jonathan and Christian! Job: Disassemble and remove old attic ductwork and install new ductwork and runs. Install Accuclean air filter in both attic and main floor systems. Install new smart thermostat and attic insulation infill. 1. Honest assessment of what is needed and more importantly, what is not needed. And not just trying to sell the most expensive option. 2. Competitive and reasonable quote. 3. I asked about radiant heat treatment as an add on, but he said while they could do it, it would not have efficient results and not worth the investment since I had a high hip roof and large attic area. 4. Great work ethic and work product. Duct system, filtering system and thermostat expertly installed, set up and running effectively. 5. All interactions cordial, efficient and polite. 6. Punctual in accordance with automated notices about arrival and appointment reminders 7. Clean work - brought coverings to reduce tracking of insulation through house areas traversed. Cleaned any evidence of insulation. 8. Works relatively quietly. No loud talk or music. 9. Small footprint on street. One van. I expected van and trailer. New materials brought in, unloaded and installed while old duct system all loaded up and removed. Very efficient. Overall, fantastic experience and is highly recommended.

Mary Cavett

Paradise has become our go-to HVAC company. We have used them for several smaller repairs and they always provides a reasonable price and didn’t try to upsell replacing our 30 year old unit before we were ready. Then, when we were finally ready to replace our unit we got quotes from Paradise and several other companies. Paradise was by far the best value not only in terms of price but also unit brand and warranty. We even ran all of the quotes through AI and his came in 1st in terms of value, price and ROI! Great company overall - can always trust them to provide great, high quality work and reasonable prices.

Sam Sharples

Very prompt, respectful, thorough, and didn’t break the bank.

Kofi Creme

My unit was not working and they were working with my relatives. I asked if they would take a look at mine and they did with no problem. They told me what the problem was an within 2 days they had my unit up and running!

SteelCityScreenPrint

Paradise answered my call late at night and made me an appointment for first thing in the morning and even showed up early. They crawled under my rental house through the dirt and mud to inform me that my landlord had me living in a dangerous environment. He was upfront and honest about everything and let me know the steps I needed to do to get my family out of this situation. No bandaid fixes from these guys, they do things in a professional manner and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Top notch customer service. Highly recommend!

Irv Fietz

Jonathon provides excellent service! Shows up on time, no mess, good at explaining the problem and does high quality work.

We have had Jonathan and his capable team working on our A/c and Heating for several years. They are punctual, well mannered and reasonably priced.

Jonathan and the Paradise team are the best. In my 50 yrs of home ownership, I haven't had anyone I've trusted more. My wife and I downsized recently, and Jonathan helped us upgrade old to new heating & air units, including thermostats and attic insulation. Paradise Heating & Air is a great company... glad we found them years ago.

Misty Hughes
